My first, yeah. I have friends who have a softail deluxe, vrod, street bob, sportster 883 and some sport bikes. Ive ridden a bit but never owned one.

lovely looking bike. I like the minimalist typr design. reminds me a bit of an exile cycles custom build. I would make some small mods. Smaller seat, fatter wheels and some decent spray job but thats about it.

[rockinred]

do it, just do it.... you won't regret it. Harley did a good job on those sporties... side mount plates, two tone motor like the ol shovel.. yes those are a nice starter and priced right...

imo, the apes are a must on that bike..

I love the retro look. There just isnt really anything else like it. I was looking at Triumph too, those bikes are pretty nice. I think Im gonna test ride both this weekend.

go with a gsxr750!!!

Dont bother...

You'll ride it around and notice that only chicks ride sportsters. Then you'll see a tiny girl cruise past you on a deuce and you'll really feel like a dork. You'll do what I did and trade it in for a fat boy after a few months. Trust me, it happens all the time. Ask any dealer, they're thrilled to sell you a sportster, because they know you'll be back for a real bike and they'll own you on a trade. Save your self some embarrassment and get a man's bike. There are a lot of cheap used bikes out there, esp. this time of year.

Yeah but a fat boy is almost twice as much as a sportster. And most used bikes are already customized so you gotta pay extra for parts and labor I wouldnt even want. Im already paying about 600 a month for a car I dont even drive, so I cant really afford much more. Maybe I should wait a few months til Im not paying on that car anymore.....

[rockinred]

nah, don't wait... I say buy it if it makes you happy and who cares what anyone else thinks...besides the new sporties look a lot different than the old 883.. that looked pretty small...

That 1200 can get hopped up a lot faster then the 1450's too... if you pay 10 grand for a gsxr it will be worth 1,000 in a couple of years when your ready to upgrade. at least the sporty will have some value left...

with that being said; if you can wait and buy a big bike in a few months that would obviously be the smarter choice... I know dudes that keep waiting and waiting for the perfect moment and it never comes... that is why I said "just do it".

screwww that, damn rice rockets are so lame

Welcome to your new addiction. It's a fun one, and expensive. I've owned lots of motorcycles, street and dirt, and the only thing I can tell you is not to listen to anyone and get the bike that you REALLY want. Otherwise you will never be happy.

What have you had? Where in NorCal are you?

You must have wrecked yours.

Bay Area.

I've had a sporty, Have ridden several other makes of harley. Just not my style of riding. I prefer the performance side of riding right now. Riding a harley is boring for me. The closest I would get to a harley is the new 2008 Buell that just came out. It is geared for sport riding but still has that great V-twin sound and torque.

Currently a honda 600 rr for the track only
An R1 for a daily driver

an assortment of dirt bikes as well. 2 strokes and 4 strokes.

Point is, get the bike that fits you.
